No, so far I've only been printing one or the other. I haven't tried both white and clear on the same print.

Some of the brush aluminum ACM finishes like the one pictured are not outdoor rated. We've had some white ACM panels start discoloring to a brownish tinge after 5 years or so.

If the letters are taped, heat can help too.

We have a vertical band saw that uses narrow 1/4" wide blades that work really well.

You can tell a lot about how successful a business is going to be by how prepared they are for their sign.

If you get painted letters from Gemini, they paint over their natural brushed letters so you will see the brushed texture in the paint finish. Whether they are taped or stud mounted will depend on how big they are. We've used band saw blades cut apart to lay flat to "saw" behind the letters.

FYI, I installed an update to Rasterlink 7 yesterday, and you can get gloss clear now to print simultaneously with the color; you don't have to retract and print the clear as a separate step.

We usually drop the wires down thru the parapet wall "void" into the area below the roof to make up the connections and mount power supplies. It can be tricky when there's a support beam in the way. Like Texas_Signmaker mentioned, hold the penetrations to the bottom of the letters if that can...

We had a roll of Oracal 3164 that wouldn't print right, but the problems started right off. I don't remember checking the date on the roll. Wonder if it was old stock from the vendor.

I find a lot of times unhappy employees just want you to listen to them.

We just got the printer in December so the few we've done still look great. Haha! Zendavor Signs has had a UCJV300 for some time, maybe he can give some good feedback.

Works good. I've done more of color on clear where I'm printing a white base and then a color over that. I'm happy with the white. It's definitely not yellowish at all. I printed white directly on a metallic blue vinyl and it looked good. Below is a picture of the print where you can see the...

Same here.

We were in this debate ourselves recently. We got test prints of both the HP 700 and ucjv 300. They were very close but we felt the ucjv was just a little better. That on top of the other features it offers, we decided on the mimaki. We also have an HP 560 that is still our "workhorse". The...

I've used 4Over for 10x10 but I'm not sure if they do 10x20.

Sign shops around here are always hiring so we check the ads to see what the other shops are offering as a point of reference for the wages of our current employees. If we let our wages fall to far behind we could risk losing people to the other shops.

I've lost about 50 pounds over the past couple years and I'm still surprised how much easier it is to bend over and pick something up off the floor.

I like to email my rep. I find it cuts down on the number of annoying phone calls from them asking if I have any projects I need to order for if I'm bugging them for other things.

Reminds me of my new favorite saying, "I can't fix stupid, but I can bill for it."

I agree it's irritating that you have to ask for the good pricing on each item individually.
